Q35.Consider the following reactions: conc.H2SO4 −(a) (CH3)3CCH(OH)CH3 → alc.KOH −(b) (CH3)2CHCH(Br)CH3 → (CH3)3O⊖K⊕ −(c) (CH3)2CHCH(Br)CH3 → (d) Which of the reaction(s) will not produce Saytzeff product? (1) (a), (c) and (d) (2) (d) only (3) (c) only (4) (b) and (d)

What This Question Tests

This question assesses the understanding of regioselectivity in elimination reactions (E1/E2) and the factors that determine whether a Saytzeff or Hofmann product is formed, particularly the role of bulky bases.

6.21 Primary alkyl halide C4H9Br (a) reacted with alcoholic KOH to give compound (b). Compound (b) is reacted with HBr to give (c) which is an isomer of (a). When (a) is reacted with sodium metal it gives compound (d), C8H18 which is different from the compound formed when n-butyl bromide is reacted with sodium.
